    is Reality TV the work of the devil? it has seeped into every crevace that at one time would give us some entertainment, but now it's the same life-less poor souls, or zombies, if you will, that sign up for every piece of reality tv available. be it for dancing, cooking or wiping arses they will go for it.

    is this one of the signs of the apocalypse? that the Devil wants us to be severly braindead from all this sh*te that we will have no energy left to repel his dark forces when he finally attacks. I mean ffs is there any past of popular culture that has not (yet) been infected with a reality tv spinoff?

    With them all being locked away at least there is less of them out and about, so it's not all bad! ;) A prison of sorts for muppets would be the best way to describe it! I say we need more of these shows!

    I know the devil is evil but he's not that bad. Plus I doubt he would try to take the world on the off chance he actually sees some reality tv. I'd rather be in hell than watch that shíte and I'm sure he would too.

    I'd be worried if the only thing on TV was reality programs.. but that's not the case so no, i'm not worried about all that stuff you rambled about.

    Even on the TV Guide channel on US cable telly, I have to watch the likes of Flava Flav (some gobshite with a clock hanging around his neck and wearing a viking helmet, that eejit that used to be Bobby Brady and Bridget Nielsen. :(
    Just round every last 'reality tv star' into a cattle pen and drop a bomb.

    we should have a special tv service (not just a station) that shows non stop reality TV, just for those sad, sad bástards, and it means none of our normal tv will be overtaken by their mindnumbing stupidity

    On your point OP, did anyone see the ad for the new rality TV cooking show where some famous chef will try to turn celebrities into cooks? In the ad, all these really posh well dressed people look at this cart of food being pulled into the drawing room, and it ends with them all smearing each other with food, and gorging themselves like animals.
    So theres the devils ad for Gluttony sorted, which of the 7 deadly sins will be next?

    I actually used to like the Boot Camp thingy on ITV where they had previous offenders train in a camp under 1920's British army regime. Twas quite funny seeing some "oh-so hard" men who refused or couldn't do the most basic of tasks and ended up getting punished where they eventually broke down into a quivering pile of gloop crying their eyes out. :D Now THAT'S justice!

    They should merge them all into the one show and those who lose get put in front of firing squad.

    No, Even worse, Simon Cowell.

    In fairness, saturation point was reached several years ago...I've become immune to it. It doesn't annoy me at all anymore. i actually watched a bit of Big Bro this year and enjoyed it. In the early days I used to hate it with a passion, but now...meh.

    That's exactly how I feel. It used to really annoy me, but now I just don't care. I rarely watch television, but when I do, there are still programmes that interest me so who cares what's on the other channel?

    It's easy to just not watch it.
